you can currently view it on Disney Plus or You can buy it on blu-ray or DVD or 4k blu-ray or you can buy it on digital There's all kinds of different options for you to watch this movie.

It's out there.

It's very popular We watched it on Disney Plus and they have several different versions on Disney Plus one of them is IMAX enhanced and I guess that shows you a little bit more of the screen.

I'm not sure how much of a difference it really makes because it's not like people have IMAX screens in their house.

But that's what we watched just because, why not? But there are several different versions you can watch, so that's kind of cool that they did that.

And I guess we'll kind of give a quick synopsis of what happens in the movie here.

Okay, so it opens up after Thor Ragnarok, so they're kind of like trying to get to Earth.

Or anyway, there's like a giant Asgardian ship, and Thanos has invaded it.

And it opens up with a bunch of dead Asgardians, and Thor's being tortured by Thanos while he tries to persuade Loki to give him the Space Stone.

And Loki tries to kill him, but he fails.

And in return, Thanos kills Loki in front of Thor.

And before he dies, Heimdall sends the Hulk down to Earth to warn Doctor Strange about Thanos.

And he succeeds, and Hulk warns them, and then the title card happens.

So that's the beginning of Infinity War.

All right, they go on to have battles in Earth and in space.

Steve Rogers, who we all know is Captain America, rescues Vision and Wanda from an ambush in Scotland.

Then they go to Wakanda, where Black Panther is, to remove the Mind Stone from Vision without killing him.

Because Vision has this stone in his forehead, and Thanos is trying to collect all of them, so they're trying to fight that.

Tony Stark, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange go to space, and they team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy on the planet of Titan to try to get the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos.

Star-Lord kind of screws that up for them.

And then they go to a very famous part of this movie, which is really kind of the climax.

So, Thor is successfully able to make Stormbreaker, which is kind of like his predecessor to Mjolnir, which was broken in Thor Ragnarok.

But he makes Stormbreaker.
